I know, I nearly added that, Graham (I wanted to hide their blushes).

Boys running an airport you constantly have to 'balance' lots of things. Easyjet got a load of publicity them selves for the TFS, now if the airport was seen to be rubbing other noses in it!! i.e. other operators who already fly to TFS.....

As for the new DUB flights well every one has a timetable to run to and its not up to the airport to go against such things. Has EI publicly announced it?? Your average Joe public won't know the flights were in the 'system'!!

Purely my thoughts.......

Some very good figures out of EK for July up 24% upto 17,180


Chaps

Also AMS up another 28% to 32,187

Anybody any knowledge of why and where TCX6107 has been diverted?

UPDATE: Apparently a distress/emergency signal and travelling over Yorkshire Moors currently back down south.

EDIT: Apparently a problem with one of the flaps and therefore diverted to Manchester because of the longer runway.

Answered my own question!

At least shes landed safely at Manchester, i wonder which 757 will cover the DLM rotation tonight or if we will have a chartered AC in.

Edit: G-FCLA is now positioning in from EMA

Pretty sure FCLA had a 7700 emergency call a couple of days ago too. Hope it isn't a sign of things to come.

Passenger survey (from the BBC):

.......Of the larger airports with four million or more passengers a year, Newcastle International came top with a customer rating of 69%.

Really surprised no one noticed EI and NCL's announcement of the DUB service yesterday?? After all the worry about it last week...........

I did notice and would have mentioned it, but I have just managed to get back online after a computer problem.

Very pleased to see it with an advert as well.

Jet2 doing 1 off flights to EWR and YYZ in April 14. I presume these are similar to the "discovery" flights run thius year

Also new from Jet2 for 2014 are Vienna & Cologne

Vienna and Cologne are just one-off flights for the last weekend of November 2013.

Does anybody have any info on TCX6024 G-TCBB ? Departed on time at 15:00 now showing 3 hours late arrival at TFS , No record of it on FR24 after a certain point as is common on that route down to the canarys .

Indefinite delay marked on NCL's website so can only imagine its had a tech difficulty en route.

Diverted back to MAN I believe

TCBB & BC diverting to MAN within a week , there have been some shocking delays from TCX this summer here.

EDIT : TCX6024 9am Departure scheduled from MAN

FCLI flew in this morning to cover PMI.

G-WJAN is on her way in covering BB's Tenerife rotation - she is due in at about 19:30
